TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A -

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists.

He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B -

He was kicked ou t of office twice, sleeps until

noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C -

He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be your Choice?

Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.

----------------------------------------------

Candidate A: is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Candidate B: is Winston Churchill.

Candidate C: is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, the answer to the abortion question: If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Funny. I picked "no abortion" (since, hey, so many problems, what's one extra cripple if there's a chance the 8th kid will be marginally ok), and I picked "B" since that one looked as the lesser of three evils (I mean come on, a vegetarian war hero, there's got to be something messed up about him).
About the "Congress" part... well, politicians. Need I say more ? I suppose not.

19. no company can pay the price for all that hard metal, and that plane will be to heavy to fly.
27. it's actually 98.2 Fahrenheit, and if you took off all your clothes, at 98 degrees you would be comfortable.
46. your own choice (or the media's).

50. Because "heads-up" means, "Be aware there is danger." Sometimes seeing the danger and accounting for it with intelligence and proper use of sensory input is a far better means of dealing with something incoming than just ducking and covering. Example: If a spear is coming at me, and I just cover, I might still get impaled. But if I look at the spear and consciously dodge it, I am safe. Same with a baseball... Would you rather duck and get a huge welt on the back of your head, or simply watch for the ball and catch/dodge it?
